Since the WebFOCUS Client runs as part of your web and application servers, the user IDs that run web and application server processes require access to the WebFOCUS Client directories. For Windows, default NTFS permissions are usually sufficient. However, the necessary steps depend on your web and application server.

• For Tomcat, there is normally no need to set NTFS permissions. When Tomcat runs as a service, it runs as the Local System account which has sufficient permissions, by default.

  You can optionally enhance security by changing the user ID under which Tomcat runs to an ID with less authority on the machine, and then setting NTFS permissions for this user ID. For more information, see Additional WebFOCUS Configuration Options.

• For other web and applications servers, consult your web and application server documentation to determine the user IDs under which your servers run. If your servers do not run as Windows services, the default file system permissions are probably sufficient.

For additional information about permissions and security, see the WebFOCUS Security and Administration manual.
